Dear IGES members,

IGES hosts regular virtual journal clubs throughout the year to increase IGES members' familiarity with emerging and classic literature in genetic epidemiology and to foster discussion and networking among members. This month’s journal club highlights one of the top three Genetic Epidemiology papers of 2024. Make plans to attend our next meeting!

 “The sequence kernel association test for multicategorical outcomes” (Genet Epidemiol. 2023 Sep;47(6):432-449).
